Young men ages 16 to 28—aka “Generation Z”—who are online much of the day and have little or no social interaction outside of online activities are most likely to self-report dissatisfaction with their life and poor mental health. https://ow.ly/nctv50XtMaB

Con la locutora, un seminarista y un sacerdote hablamos de suicidio (Padre Matteo...), primeros auxilios, y cómo apoyar en la parroquia.

Don Matteo Balzano, a 35 year old priest in Italy, has died by suicide.
Let’s pray and do a better job as humans & members of a Church on earth that listens and accompanies more compassionately our brothers and sisters, especially priests, with mental health struggles.
